What Tinybird Cloud is
Tinybird Cloud is a managed real-time data platform for building analytics features and serving data through APIs. It runs managed ClickHouse, with automatic scaling and version upgrades, and can ingest data over HTTP or from Kafka, S3, GCS, and local files. Ingestion includes buffering, compaction, schema detection, and retries. Users can turn SQL queries into secure APIs or use the ClickHouse HTTP interface. Developer tools include the Tinybird CLI, TypeScript and Python SDKs, local development, branches, and CI/CD integration. Its Free plan provides 0.25 vCPUs, one thread per request, 1,000 requests per day, 10GB of storage, and community support. The listed Developer plan costs $49 a month and includes 25GB storage and two replicas. Tinybird states that connections require TLS 1.2 or later, data is encrypted at rest, and databases are backed up daily with two-day retention. It also states GDPR, SOC 2 Type 2, and HIPAA compliance.
